They are on a promotion benge. Those guys are getting them either free or they get a kickback when people buy them from the link. Not saying they aren't great tools. I'm going to buy some myself. Just saying the trend is obvious that this company is aiming their marketing strategy in that direction. Of course, when I do buy them, if those guys have a link, I'll use it and help them out. I like their channels!Tekton seems to be the new tool of You Tubers.. Trail Recon, ponytail and a few others rocking all new sets on their videos.
Agreed on helping the channel’s I like. But I will stay clear of “breakable / commonly replaced” tools, until they have local stores that are carrying them for warranty replacement.I'm going to buy some myself.

I tend to loose tools on the trail so this is good advice. I also like the molded case kits as easy to see if anything is missing to search for before moving on.I have a few of their tools, however for the torque wrench better off getting a split beam vs the click. The click ones just don't seem to last for me...
For trail tools stick with cheapest you can find and leave the good stuff at home, although I usually take a few M12/M18 power tools with me when on longer outings.
Back in the day I started with the molded tool sets, however over the years and now traveling with the family cargo space is precious. I have a canvas tool roll where I keep the hand tools, and only the sockets/wrench sizes I need. To figure out what you need use the same tools when working on the jeep. No need to carry the full tool chest, of course it all comes down to your mechanical and mcgiver ability when out on the trail wrenching.I tend to loose tools on the trail so this is good advice.

They have the easiest warranty process. Literally just send them a picture of the broken tool on their website, and you'll get a replacement in the mail. We've only had to use it once, when one of my mechanics used the big Milwaukee 1" impact gun with Tekton's 3/4 drive 1 inch chrome socket in a "Let's see what will happen" situation.Agreed on helping the channel’s I like.

Good to know. Thank you.They have the easiest warranty process. Literally just send them a picture of the broken tool on their website, and you'll get a replacement in the mail.

I just recently picked up that set and couldn't be happier. Beautiful wrenches and nice rubber-like holders. Might be the best wrench deal there is at slightly less than $100. You can get the same set in roll-up pouches. I've settled on Tekton as my go-to brand (for the most part.)In reality though, I'm super impressed with Tekton's quality all around. I'd probably put them on par with the old Craftsman brand and quality (if not better) but at a much more reasonable cost.

I'm glad they included the organizers. It's annoying trying to find an organizer that fits my existing wrenches and actually holds them in place.I just recently picked up that set and couldn't be happier.

For torque wrenches, I recently picked up the Icon 3/8 and 1/2 wrenches at HF and I'm very pleased with them as well. A little pricey but very nice. I'm hoping the Icon stuff comes down in price.
I bought Craftsman tools exclusively for years and years. I just made the switch to Tekton and probably won't look back. Craftsman/Sears is a ghost of its former self.
